Quoted: Is there a way to get the AK to eject a little less.....enthusiastically? Mine shoots two ways at once.

If you really want to tame down the ejection, the correct fix is to reduce the gas port size. Press the gas block forward to expose the gas port, silver solder the hole up, and drill smaller. It may take a few steps to get the hole up to a size that works perfectly. On chinese .223 AKs that modification is nearly manditory because the chinese drilled the same gas port size as 7.62x39 on them and .223 has much higher pressures. Super energetic ejection is good for reliability for a while, but it really beats the hell out of the action and annoys other people at the range. Doing the mod is a good idea for a gun that is intended to see alot of rounds at a range. More pleasant to shoot and will last much longer.
Ya, but the FAL is worse, those .308s can sting sometimes.?? FALs have very effective gas adjustment on the gas block. If someone is slinging brass that hard from a FAL, it is either because they want to or are ignorant. The standard adjustment on a FAL is to open the gas till it ejects well, then maybe one click more. If someone is beaning you 6 benches down they are doing it on purpose, and beating the hell out of their action for no good reason.
